Germany is singled out because decided to close their safe and well functioning zero emission power plants for no good reason, thus exploding their CO2 emissions.

Yeah, other emit more, but the rank stupidity of this environmental vandalism deserves the scorn it gets!

> thus exploding their CO2 emissions

Except their emissions have continued to go down.

Whether you count just electricity or economy wide.

And even before this "explosion" they were about half the US on per capita economy wide and now are less than half.

I believe they are singled out in a feeble attempt by climate change deniers and fossil fuel boosters to discredit renewables. Which Germany played a pivotal role in kick-starting and which are currently saving the world.
